Ghanaian Self-Styled Prophet Ebo Noah Remanded in Custody, Court Orders Psychiatric Evaluation Over Doomsday Flood Prophecy That Sparked Nationwide Panic
A Ghanaian self-styled prophet, Ebo Noah, born Evans Eshun, has been remanded in custody by the Adenta District Court and ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation following his arrest over a controversial doomsday prophecy. Eshun was arrested on December 31, 2025, by operatives of the Ghana Police Service Special Cyber Vetting Team for false communication and causing fear and panic after he predicted that the world would be submerged by a global flood on December 25, 2025.
The prophecy, widely circulated on social media, triggered widespread anxiety, with hundreds of people—some from neighbouring countries—reportedly abandoning their homes and travelling with luggage to Eshun’s premises, where he claimed an “ark” he built would save humanity. When the predicted flood failed to occur, Eshun released a video claiming that prayers and fasting had convinced God to postpone the destruction, rather than admitting the prophecy was false.
Public outrage intensified after he appeared at rapper Sarkodie’s Rapperholic 2025 concert, telling attendees to celebrate because the alleged doom had been delayed. The court has adjourned the case to January 15, 2026, pending the outcome of the psychiatric assessment. The incident has reignited national debate in Ghana over religious extremism, misinformation, public safety, and the limits of free expression, as authorities move to hold the self-proclaimed prophet accountable for the social disruption caused by his claims.
